We have 57 entries in the RotoBaller ESPN College Pick 'em group this season. We didn't have our first perfect week in the RotoBaller group last year until Week 5. Three entries were perfect in Week 1 this year! Dr.SteveBrule, Brave and Crazy!, and Mike got all 10 picks right. MIZ#2 only missed the one-point […]

I hope you all enjoyed those easy matchups out there in Week 1. It gets a little tougher for most teams in Week 2. Arizona State's offense, which was in this article last week, led all teams with 32.25 fantasy points. This was a case where piling on yards really helped the team's offensive score. […]

All week leading up to our Labor Day smorgasbord of games, the narrative was that there weren't any "marquee" matchups. The Ole Miss-Louisville game was the only game featuring a ranked matchup. This is why we don't listen to narratives. What we got was UMass winning a game for the first time in 22 months...over […]

Mississippi quarterback Trinidad Chambliss opened his 2026 season with a 41-38 win over Louisville on Sunday night. Chambliss completed 21-of-36 passes for 336 yards and three touchdowns. Chambliss also carried the ball nine times for 60 yards and a touchdown. The bad news is that Chambliss lost a fumble for the first time since joining […]

Star running back Kewan Lacy (leg)  left the game for Mississippi early in the third quarter of the 41-38 win over Louisville. Lacy ran for 61 yards and a touchdown before exiting the game. During the broadcast, it was thought that Lacy had an ankle bruise. Coach Pete Golding confirmed after the game that Lacy […]

This is the last Sunday without the NFL, so college football decided to hold three marquee games, all at NFL Stadium. This is one of the few good ideas that the NCAA has had in the last decade. We have the Apple Cup at Lumen Field, Louisville and Mississippi from Nissan Stadium in Nashville, and […]

Penn State sophomore wide receiver Koby Howard caught six passes for 161 yards and a touchdown in Penn State's 45-0 crushing of Marshall in Week 1. Howard, one of the few Penn State holdovers when Matt Campbell came to town, only caught seven passes for 133 yards in his true freshman season last year. Despite […]

Oklahoma State wide receiver transfer Gavin Freeman caught 12 DJ Lagway passes in his debut for Baylor. Freeman's 12 receptions were tied for the most in Week 1 with Miami's Malachi Toney. Freeman amassed 154 yards and a touchdown on those 12 receptions. Toney is rostered in 100% of leagues. Freeman is only on 4% […]

Kentucky quarterback transfer Cutter Boley made a big splash in the desert on Saturday in his Arizona State debut. Boley completed 21 of his 27 passes for 387 yards and six touchdowns in Arizona State's season-opening win over Morgan State. He set a career high in both yards and touchdowns in his first game in […]

Mississippi State quarterback Kamario Taylor had a huge showing in his 2026 debut. Taylor completed 22-of-34 passes for 354 yards and four touchdowns. He also carried the ball six times for 59 yards and another touchdown in Mississippi State's 62-13 blowout win over Louisiana-Monroe. The Bulldogs finished with 762 total yards. That set a new […]

Wisconsin running back transfer Dilin Jones has claimed the LSU RB1 job. Reports stated that Jones and Harlem Berry would be in some kind of timeshare heading into Week 1. Berry had just four carries for nine yards. Jones led LSU with 23 carries. He tied for the yardage lead (113) with QB Sam Leavitt […]

Sophomore quarterback Mason Heintschel tied a Pittsburgh program record with seven touchdown passes in the Panthers' 59-14 thumping of Miami of Ohio. Heintschel's performance tied Pete Gonzalez, who threw seven touchdowns against Rutgers in 1997. All seven touchdowns went to different receivers. Heintschel finished with 453 passing yards on 31 completions. Heintschel was only drafted […]

When we last saw LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt, he was battling a Lisfranc injury during the 2025 season. On Halloween, he decided to have surgery and end his season. He became the prize of the transfer portal. Leavitt's return to the field was a triumphant one as LSU blew out Clemson 51-10 behind his strong […]

You're not done yet, are you? The day just started 10 hours ago! It's not over until we say it is! "Pac-12 After Dark" is back and maybe better than ever. We've even got a throwback to the old Pac-12 After Dark with UCLA heading up to Cal. Central Michigan heads to New Mexico for […]

Quarterback Jayden Maiava put together another fantastic game to lead No. 14 USC to a 39-0 win over Fresno State. Maiava completed 23-of-25 passes for 349 yards and three touchdowns. Despite the return of star WR Tanook Hines, USC freshman Trent Mosley had another big game with four receptions for 104 yards and a pair […]

Duke quarterback transfer Darian Mensah led the No. 7 Miami Hurricanes to a big 45-6 win over Stanford at The Farm on Friday night. Mensah completed 27-of-30 passes for 401 yards and five touchdown passes in Miami's big win. 234 of those yards and three of the touchdowns went to star receiver Malachi Toney. Mensah […]

DraftKings' night slates often feature the marquee prime-time matchups in a standalone slate. FanDuel adds them all to the main slate and leaves off other good games in the afternoon. DraftKings setting up the slates like this is part of the reason that I play almost exclusively on DK now. Most of the good games […]

We've got the first of 14 monster DraftKings slates that will grace our Saturday afternoons all season long! We've got some ranked teams in action such as Texas, Indiana, and Ohio State. We've got some rebuilt teams such as Penn State and Auburn. Oregon paid Boise $2.5 million so they wouldn't have to go play […]

The Week 0 appetizer was a good one. We had 11 games on Thursday and eight more on Friday. Only 72 more games to go for our Week 1! The bad news is that only 33 of those are FBS vs. FBS contests. I won't pick FBS vs. FCS games. The lines are usually really […]

Former South Alabama and North Carolina quarterback Gio Lopez looked very good in his Wake Forest debut. Lopez was reunited with South Alabama's 2024 offensive coordinator, Rob Azell, in his Wake Forest debut. The result was the best game for Lopez in nearly two years. He threw for 350 yards and three touchdowns in Wake […]

Rutgers wide receiver KJ Duff, who was one of the first WRs off the board in college fantasy drafts, lived up to his billing in Week 1. The 6-foot-6 Duff hauled in nine passes for 196 yards and three touchdowns. The rest of the Rutgers players caught seven passes for 46 yards in arguably the […]

Former Mississippi quarterback Austin Simmons was excellent in his Missouri debut Thursday night. Simmons completed 17 of his 19 passes for 252 yards and four touchdowns. Two of those touchdowns went to Donovan Olugbode. Simmons was named the starter for Mississippi last year, but was hurt in Week 2. Trinidad Chambliss was excellent filling in […]

A court in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, granted a temporary injunction against the SEC and NCAA to allow former Cleveland Browns tight end Dae'Quan Wright and former New Orleans Saints defensive lineman Zxavian Harris to return to college football. The case was brought by LSU against the NCAA to allow Wright and Harris to play in […]

Updating a previous report, Colorado wide receiver Danny Scudero (ankle) is now probable to play on Thursday night vs. Georgia Tech in Atlanta. Kickoff is in 25 minutes, so get him in your fantasy lineups. This is a great matchup for Scudero in Colorado's new "go-go" offense, the brainchild of offensive coordinator Brennan Marion. Scudero […]

Colorado wide receiver Danny Scudero (ankle) is listed as a game-time decision for Thursday night's game against Georgia Tech in Atlanta. Scudero injured his ankle earlier in fall camp. Scudero had 88 receptions for 1,297 yards and 10 touchdowns with San Jose State last year. Scudero was spotted on the field with Colorado during warmups […]

Toughest schedules are hard to gauge. They are all subjective, based on a ranking system that is biased toward teams that did well the previous season or toward teams that are traditionally good. Don't even get me started on the conference bias. Nine SEC teams are ranked in the AP top 25. Five are in […]

DraftKings took the same approach as the Thursday slate this week and avoided all FBS vs. FCS matchups. I don't blame them. It's hard for them to get accurate pricing on those teams and just as hard for us to pick them. This levels the field a little more. We have three ranked teams in […]

Week 0 gave us eight interesting games. We saw old faces in new places. Some fared better than others. We saw old faces in old places with predictably good results. The appetizer is over. Now we get into the heart of college football. There are 91 games spread out over the next five days. Only […]

College football isn't officially back until the ESPN College Pick'em pools are opened. Now, we can finally make some picks! As those of you who have been around for a while know, we run a Pick'em pool for RotoBaller readers. We encourage you to join because RotoBaller is giving away some prizes aside from the […]

Last week was a solid appetizer. Week 0 came and went without any major upsets at the FBS level. Some teams looked better than we thought they would. Some looked awful. Some of those teams are back in action this week. We have a whole new slate of players for Thursday. There are a total […]
